John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, gave us three rules for Christian living:
A happening people We are committed, diverse, and open. We are accepting, caring, hospitable and inclusive; family - and community - oriented. We are concerned about those beyond our community. We are active in mission and responsive. We love music, church suppers, and fellowship. We are initiators, with a history of creating ministries related to education, employment, health, and other issues. We like to tell the story of God's redeeming grace. A covenant peopleWhen you join a United Methodist congregation, you become a member of the total United Methodist connection. A diverse communityUnited Methodists trace their spiritual heritage back to 18th-century leaders including John and Charles Wesley, Jacob Albright, Philip Otterbein, Martin Boehm and Francis Asbury. All persons are welcome in The United Methodist Church. We are firmly committed to inclusiveness. We celebrate a diversity of people, ideas and cultures and are enriched by our broad history. Biblical in faith United Methodists trust free inquiry in matters of Christian doctrine. Our faith is guided by Scripture, tradition, experience and reason. Scripture is of paramount importance for United Methodists, the Bible is the record of God's people living out God's promise. Mission oriented, socially consciousUnited Methodists are mission-related and socially conscious. This is important to our faith. We are aware of world events and strive to help those in need. EcumenicalFor generations, United Methodists have cooperated with other faiths, churches, and denominations to spread the gospel, care for those in need, alleviate injustice, and foster peace. InvolvedFor more than 200 years, The United Methodist Church and its predecessor bodies have expressed concern for the worker, the sick, the poor, the orphaned, the aging, the impaired, the oppressed and the imprisoned. Our church participates in the struggles of women, people with physical and mental impairments, and racial, ethnic, and minority persons, helping them attain equality in the church, the economy and society. United Methodists positively influence society through responsible social action. EvangelicalThe United Methodist Church continues its strong evangelical heritage. Within each congregation is a vital center of biblical study and evangelism -- a blending of personal piety and discipleship. |
